The premise is solid though. Charge the people that use the thing more than those that don’t. It all breaks down though because the people that use them the most are corporations and receive the largest tax incentives.

It breaks down because in nearly every instance, it’s just regressive taxation on poor people

Healthcare is something that should be socialized period. It’s road taxes and gas taxes that should be based on usage in that scenario.

We already have usage taxes on those and I am not sure those make sense either except it is so small (in terms of total budget) that I don’t think it is worth an argument.
